[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent once saw Lucinda shrink from a confrontation with a drunken bully who was harassing a young worker.

[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent admires the labor movement's fight for fairer treatment and safer working conditions. She respects Lucinda Mayfield's fiery speeches and her willingness to stand up to authority, even though she harbors some reservations about Mayfield's methods after witnessing her cowardice firsthand.
[01 Oct 1868 00:00:00] Millicent is torn when it comes to Lucinda Mayfield.
